Quick Guide

1. Go to 21.7S 47.7E and use the odd-looking vine to be teleported into the Blackmire 1 Entrance.
2. Have one person wait at the southeast door.
3. Two other people will press buttons to open the doors. One person should press the buttons in the main room to let the second person in and out. The second person goes into the short hall to press the button at the end. The doors stay open for about 5 minutes, so the order isn't really important. Do this with the buttons on all four sides of the room.
4. The person waiting at the southeast corner should enter and run to the area above the entrance, pick up a bloodstone (1 hour timer on pickup), jump down and hand it to the statue. This will teleport the entire fellowship into Hall of the Temple Guardians.
5. Use the level appropriate Guardian to be teleported to the next section.
6. Run to and use the Guardian of the Crypt to be teleported to the Hall of the Arbiter.
7. One person should talk to the Arbiter.
8. One person should talk to the west statue, run through the halls and hand the Heart of the Temple to the High Matron Arbiter.
9. One person should talk to the north statue, use the tables to get four Gems of Appeasement, use the Offering Plate on the gems, and then hand the Offering Plate with Offerings to the statue at the end.
10. One person should talk to the east statue, use the Offering Urns to get three Sacrificial Bones, use the Satchel on the bones and then hand the Satchel with Offerings to the statue at the end.
11. The person who talked to the Arbiter at the beginning should talk again. This will teleport the entire fellowship into Matron's Outer Chamber.
12. Use the statue to be teleported into Crypt of Kixkti Xri.
13. Each of the four eyes must be used. The lower skills by 99% for a minute, and each eye drains 25 health periodically for several minutes.

Lore & Dialog

"Shi Vaik Tukinti ikni likik ki inki Viliakti, av esk ilti?"
The language is guttural and hard. You do not understand what was asked of you, but you know that it was a question. As it speaks again, a vein of understanding spreads through you.
"Jiktani ekta irntrika to the matron of this temple. Prove to Ixir Zi that you are devout followers of the Watcher. Bring me the sacred gem from this room. Only then will I recognize the work of your [sic] and your fellows."
"Once you have completed this challenge you will then need to stay amongst your fellows through the remainder of this temple. I shall grant you entrance into the halls of High Matron Ixir Zi's temple, only when you have succeeded. You must gather into groups of equivalent learning. Failure av iakvi."

A hollow sounding raspy voice says, "Advance, but know that beyond you shall be tested in cunning, wit and humility."
"Welcome, young initiates. You have found your way beyond the guardians to the Tomb of Ixir Zi. You have done well to reach this point. By the Watcher, you shall awaken the High Matron. But there are still spirits to defeat and still challenges that you must complete to prove your worthiness. Within this very hall lie several such challenges."
"Each must be completed by you and your fellows. Each statue within this hall will explain the challenge that it watches over, and invite you to partake. When you have completed all of the tests, return to me. If you have succeeded, you shall be granted passage into the final resting place of the High Matron. If you have not succeeded, you will be sent from this place."
"There, make your sacrifices to awaken her. Should you fail... then I shall be forced to rid these halls of your presence. Pray to the Iakvi Liviliakti that you do not fail."

They require certain objects to make them peaceful. You must quell the anger of the spirits by collecting these objects and placing them upon this plate."

"You have been chosen to complete the test here. Within this hall are piles that were once offerings to High Matron, Ixir Zi. Long ago they crumbled to dust, but still they serve a purpose. Listen well to this question."
"A Matron, has four servants and six consorts. She must offer the High Matron half of those who server her and half of her partners. Half of the servants that are sent will survive upon return, and each consort that returns will become a servant. How many consorts will the Matron have once her offering is complete?"
